[The next morning, the family gathers for breakfast outside. Luisa sets down the table, while Julieta looks around, a hint of concern on her face.]
Julieta: Have you seen Meribel or Isabella yet, Luisa?
[Luisa shakes her head.]
Luisa: No, not yet.
[As the rest of the family starts to join them, Julieta asks Doloris if Isabella and Meribel are up yet. Doloris listens for a moment before responding.]
Doloris: Meribel's on her way out right now. Coming from Isabella's room.
[As Bruno takes his seat, Antonio moves to sit next to him as usual. However, Pepa intervenes.]
Pepa: Antonio, why don't you sit with your siblings today?
[Antonio looks confused, but complies, heading over to sit with Doloris and Camello. Bruno looks downcast, but Abuela places a reassuring hand on his, silently offering support.]
[A minute later, Meribel comes running out and goes to her mother.]
Meribel: Mama, Isabella's sick. She's asking for you.
[Julieta nods, thanking Meribel before instructing her to sit down and eat. She quickly puts together a plate for Isabella and hurries off. Meribel takes her seat next to Luisa.]
Luisa: How's Isabella?
Meribel responds, her voice tinged with worry.]
Meribel: She said it feels hard to breathe. I kind of guessed something might be wrong last night, the way she kept clearing her throat.
[Luisa's expression changes, a flicker of concern crossing her features as she looks at Meribel.]
Luisa: Clearing her throat?
[Meribel nods, noticing Luisa's sudden shift in demeanor.]
Meribel: Is everything okay?
[Luisa tries to brush it off, but Meribel remains unconvinced.]
